## Description

We are seeking a skilled Contracts Manager to join our Legal team. As a key member of our agile legal team, you will work across a diverse mix of marketing, procurement, advertising, policy, product integration, and other commercial contracts while serving as a trusted legal partner to cross-functional teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Owning day-to-day legal relationships with key client groups, including marketing, policy, and procurement teams, advising on deals, campaigns, and risk mitigation with fluency across adjacent legal areas, including privacy, employment, and IP.

- Advising on marketing programs, including contests, giveaways, and influencer marketing, and partnering with IP, privacy, and product counsel to review and clear promotional materials for legal compliance.

- Drafting, negotiating, and managing a broad range of commercial agreements, including marketing, procurement, advertising, vendor, partnership, and licensing agreements.

- Independently scoping and resolving complex or novel matters, defining the path forward where established playbooks don't exist.

- Building and owning scalable processes, templates, playbooks, and fallback positions that enable efficient and consistent deal execution.

- Developing and delivering training materials, internal guidelines, and legal memos to upskill cross-functional partners and improve legal self-service.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

- 6-8+ years of combined in-house legal experience, preferably at a consumer technology company, with broad commercial contracting exposure across marketing, procurement, and cross-functional business teams.

- A proven track record drafting and negotiating commercial agreements in fast-paced environments, including advising on marketing programs and reviewing promotional materials for legal compliance.

- Experience owning client relationships and serving as a primary legal point of contact, with strong stakeholder management skills across legal, product, marketing, finance, and procurement teams.

- Demonstrated ability to independently define scope, drive resolution on complex or ambiguous matters, and structure deals that balance legal risk with business objectives.

- A track record of building and owning processes, templates, or playbooks that scale legal support, paired with strong project management skills across multiple concurrent matters.

- Clear, practical communication with the ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable guidance for business audiences.

Bonus points for experience at a social media, gaming, or creator economy platform, familiarity with digital advertising agreements, and passion for experimenting with AI tools to improve legal processes or output.
